Over two years in the making, Pawleys Island could be considered thequintessential Coppice Halifax album. Started in 2008, and built via a year-long sifting process which was the Analog Botany series in 2009, Pawleys is apotent double-album that collects everything about a specific time and placeand bottles it up in stylish colorful glass jars. Conceptualized as arepresentation of Brian's experiences in and around the actual PawleysIsland, a marshy coastal location just outside of Myrtle Beach, where Briangrew up, these recordings are a wistful kind of sad nostalgia for good timesand bad times too. Building sandcastles as a child, going on school field tripsto learn about marsh wildlife, partying with friends as a teen. Poolhopping,playing shows, pancake houses, warped cassettes in the car stereo,romance, hurricanes, shitty jobs, driving 40 minutes one-way to get backhome, alone, at 3 AM, doing 60 through lampless country roads, mildlystoned, deep inside SAW 85-92, Cosmic Thing and "Kid For Today", zoomingfrom the coastline to the country. Pawleys Island is the summation of all ofthese things, and more...musically it could be considered an apex of Brian'swork within the dub techno template, but with lots of additional influencesand flavors mixed in as well. Pawleys Island is an album about the bliss youfind in missing things, and the comfort in being sad.
